Re: (Casual) Winter footwear
I had a pleasant constitutional last night as it goes taking in Jermyn St along the way…
Those C & J split toes I swear had different prices in the 2 windows… £420/405?!??!
Or maybe it’s these antiobiotic ear drops messin’ wiv my heeeed……?!?
Anyhoo – a nice shape on them for sure…luverly…
They do some other very nice looking brogues (not longwings) but looked a sturdy beast too… maybe the Pembroke having a quick online goosey goosey gander….
Tricker’s had some interesting cap toe brogues, but my faves were Church’s burgundy brogue Double Monks… which I can’t seem to see online…
There’s a few there…but don’t look the same?
Anyhoo – they woz well mighty…..absolute Brick Shithouses…..
BELTERS…
ALSO
Saw an interesting Bates “Bill Cap” too – again which I’m struggling to find online…..
New & Lingwood gloriously bonkers… as ever….
Still one of my fave spots in this damn fine city…

Re: (Casual) Winter footwear
If you do speak to the cobbler as a complete resole (freshly stiched new midsole AND rubber sole) isn't necessary... He just stripped down the white sole but left a bit (original mid sole and about the same amount from the white sole, the original mid sole is too thin for an 1136) and then glued on the lug sole. 
I think they look much more like 'real' work boots now... the rubber sole should do better in winter, too...

Re: (Casual) Winter footwear
P.S. if he opts for a new mid sole ask for that rubber material that is used for hiking boots instead of leather... Very un-hipsterish, but far more flexible and long-lasting...
